Overview
- The latest episode, “Frequency,” puts Det. Jake ‘Griff’ Griffin at the center of a high-urgency case that the actor says becomes personal and underscores his commitment to victims.
- Cott says the hour marks a notable thaw between Griffin and Capt. Olivia Benson, with trust building even as questions about his ultimate allegiance persist.
- The installment draws intentional parallels to SVU’s classic “911,” a connection Cott says Mariska Hargitay highlighted for him behind the scenes.
- Cott teases forthcoming revelations about Griffin’s late father that could force him to choose between the squad and Chief Kathryn Tynan, who has served as his mentor.
- Cott, now a Season 27 series regular who previously guested in Season 18 as a different character, acknowledges strong pro-Benson fan pushback and says he briefly stepped back from social media as writers lean into internal squad tension.
